Heh. Maybe I should consider myself lucky that I never saw any of the Battle City eps of the dub and therefore didn't have to hear dub!Malik. But I have seen some of season 4. And in there you got Bad Australian Accent Guy (I can never remember his name... Valon I think? The one who ends up fighting with Jounouchi over Mai) And... Yea. There was an at least four episode long duel between those two which I ended up calling "Battle of the Bad Accents" I was seriously wanting to start pealing strips of my own skin off in an attempt to distract myself. Which is why I was glad when Joey lost his soul and went comatose. That means he's not talking.
Yami's dub voice still mostly makes me want to laugh my ass off every time I hear it. Kaiba's I could actually put up with (although I still laughed at it a lot) although now that I've heard the original, I'll probably be even more intolerant.
(as a sidebar since you did vaguely bring up the virus thing. I need to get off my chest the fact that while I was watching those eps I laughed every time everyone was all shocked that whoever Kaiba was dueling got around his "virus chain" To which I say: of course they did! He only attempts it every fucking time! And when has it ever really worked? Therefore I laugh.)
